I-95 Corridor Coalition/NYSDOT: Commercial VII
The I-95 Corridor Coalition, in partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (CVII) Project Team Members (Volvo Technology North America, Southwest Research Institute, Kapsch, and Intelligent Imaging Systems) will be demonstrating elements of the CVII Program during the 2011 ITS World Congress in Orlando, Florida.
The CVII Program, initiated in 2009, focuses on developing, testing and deploying 5.9 GHz dedicated short range communications (DSRC) technology for heavy vehicles. One of the major initiatives in the national connected vehicles development effort, the CVII activities to be exhibited include safety and mobility applications between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I/I2V) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication including:
- In vehicle signage and traveler information (I2V) including traveler advisories;
- Vehicle probe data including location, heading, speed and time (V2I);
- Commercial Vehicle driver credential verification including vehicle enabling/disabling for security purposes;
- Enhanced mainline screening of commercial vehicles for wireless safety inspections including driver credential information and vehicle safety systems' status (brakes, lights, seat belt, tires);
- Maintenance vehicles broadcasting location and plowing/work zone operations to other vehicles; and
- V2V driver warnings enabled via the exchange of Basic Safety Messages (a.k.a. "Here I Am") including blind spot, tailgating, emergency braking ahead, and safe to pass/safe to merge.
